...Orleans, 6A rejoins Route 6 and heads north. Most of the forearm (Eastham, Wellfleet, Truro and Provincetown) is part of Cape Cod National Seashore, a National Park. The beaches on the Atlantic are wonderful, always nice to walk on when there are no crowds. Even in the rain and wind, if you are dressed warmly, it is fun to explore the beaches. With a wet suit, March is not too early to surf...
...suffered as he began to let his arm drop exposing it to touches on short Penn lunges. Epeeman Rob Kaplan suffered in the same way, as the experienced Penn epeemen, who have lost only three bouts together in the Ivies this season, took advantage whenever they spied an unprotected forearm...
...real garments and provided with genuine glass eyes. The craftsmanship is meticulous, not to say obsessive. It produces not images but model people-androids without the electronic guts. Each plastic scalp is the sum of myriad transplants; thousands of strands of fuzz are pricked into the cold, immobile forearm; the pigment on the skin replicates flesh down to the very last pore, zit, shaving nick and burst vein, while every T shirt and pair of overalls displays exactly the right degree of grunge, wear and spattering. Consequently, the presence of these figures becomes almost hallucinatory. "Speaking likenesses" that cannot speak...
Brown begins the first dance--a solo called "Accumulation"--with a simple gesture; turning her forearm over and back at a steady pace, she flips her thumb from side to side. Her other forearm then mirrors the action. She repeats both gestures and adds a third, then starts over again and adds a fourth. After 15 or so "Accumulated" movements, the dance ends. Like the first gesture, the hitchhiker's thumbs wagged side to side rather than held steady as we are accustomed to seeing it. Many of the movements appear out of place but there is a deadpan humor...
...that the precise moment of maximum flow, when the heart is pumping hardest-represented by the upper, or systolic, blood pressure-and that of minimum flow, or diastolic reading, are not determined by a doctor or technician listening for the coursing blood with a stethoscope pressed against the forearm. Instead, that job is done by a tiny microphone in the cuff, which sends its signals to the machine's miniature "brain"-tiny silicon chips or microprocessors. Programmed to recognize the noises, the microprocessors not only instruct the machine when to pump up and deflate the cuff, but also determine...
